First, the assumption that a snippet of code if actually copyrightable is generally untrue.

Secondly, open source exists to help people learn to code; wholesale copying is frowned upon, but snippets or concepts aren't.

Third, unless it negatively impact the project itself, anything short of wholesale copying is likely to be ignored - when developers do that today -.

AI doesn't change this equation very much.

no.

LLMs write fiction, that's fundamentally what they do. Sometimes the fiction is accurate and can be used as non-fiction, but, it's still a form of fiction. It's not thought.

Producing a one-off in lab is completely different than producing chips at scale.

The US doesn't have the technology to manufacture a plant to manufacture the chips at that size. It would take 20-30 years.

Now, you can cut that by buying the equipment you need outside North America...

Untraceable transactions are too ripe for money laundering and as such generally illegal at scale.

You might not agree with it, but that's the world we live in.

It's almost rudimentary today to have fault tolerance in the design. Horizontal scaling automatically gains some level of fault tolerance unless you specifically build it without.

Which is usually budget constraint, not a developer constraint.

My sites are on AWS, and they all stayed up yesterday. But they aren't multi-region. That's the risk we take.

And many studio houses use the same character images over and over again. So why are a few key people so over worked?

Such a strange industry

I have an M1 MacBook Pro Max I've run gpt-oss-20b on it. It wouldn't support a dozen users, but it worked fine for me for experimental and dev testing.

Considering I didn't buy this machine with AI as an intended use, that's pretty amazing.

There's definitely some room for Apple in this space, while everybody thinks the only player is Nvidia.

is your mother, and honestly, those pictures were disturbing.

The motherboard is the second level of defense. The case is the third. The rack is the fourth, the cage is the fifth. The armed guard is the sixth.

Physical attacks are readily mitigated by those with the will.

If you need trigger warnings you need to be in therapy.

If you want to avoid certain content you can do research on it and avoid it.

If you're avoiding your trauma and expecting the rest of the world to conform to your avoidance strategy you need therapy.

Story from a few years ago was someone in a history course wanting to avoid discussion/essay on a particular topic due to PTSD; he went to the professor and worked out an alternative that was quite reasonable.

You know who doesn't do that? The trigger warning group. They want to use avoidance strategies that pretend issues don't exist.

If you're in treatment and utilizing trigger warnings - great.

If you're not in treatment and you're relying on trigger warnings you need to seek expert level therapy now.

Guess whos usually the ines complaining about the lack of trigger warnings... hint, it isnt the first group.

if you need trigger warnings the first question to ask:

Are you being treated for your trauma? If not, the trigger warning is useless to you as it only encourages avoidance behavior if you're relying on it anyway.

There are some narrow circumstances where I think they're relevant to everybody, but their prevalence diminishes that and results in exactly what this paper points out.

I use TV ratings to determine if something is of interest sometimes. Sex? Yes. Violence? Yes. Etc. often times shows without any of them are just simply boring.

If they haven't cancelled him yet; there's no reason to cancel AI.

The response to writers complaining about AI and destroying the industry is simple.
